Baking Soda pH Measurement

The video explores the pH of baking soda, starting with a familiar reaction with vinegar. It demonstrates using pH paper, which indicates a pH of around 8, confirming baking soda as a base. A pH meter is then used for more precise measurement, showing a pH of approximately 7.8. The video concludes by affirming baking soda's basic nature.
